Mom Edited Daughter's Princess Book To Be More Feminist

When we were young, they fed us, bathed us, dressed us, drove us to soccer practice andtaught us the rules of feminism — lifting us closer to shattering that glass ceiling with a backpack full of powerful life experiences and the strength of a million women. And also Oprah.

While moms everywhere have been teaching their daughters just how awesome they are without male validation, traditional fairytales and children's stories haven't exactly kept up with the times.

The stories we grew up reading paint women and men in traditional, old-fashioned, conservative gender roles, often labeling the princes as heroes and the princesses as the ones in need of saving.
